While I’m sure some of you wish I had video of Jennifer Garner pouring her heart out over polar bears and rising temperatures, sadly this is a little more low-key. That’s not say that such a scene hasn’t happened. According to Jennifer (we’re on a first-name basis), ever since becoming a mom, she’s reacted much more emotionally to events around her; including the environment. From the article,

“Jennifer has also confessed she cries more now she is a mother. The actress believes the experience has made her more caring.

She said: ‘Since I became a mother, I cry more because I care about things more.

‘I can’t watch a movie where something happens to a child. And I’ve always cared about global warming and breast cancer, but now there seems to be an urgency about them.'”

Urgency or hype? The New York Times ran a story today telling Al Gore to “cool it” with his dire predictions; citing concern from some scientists that his warnings may be exaggerated. Personally, I see nothing but good coming from erring on the side of ‘worst case scenario’. If the others are right, and global warming never becomes a monster, we’ll have cleaner rivers, cleaner air, and a more sustainable planet anyways. If the other side is wrong, we’re in for one hell of a nasty ride. I’m with Jennifer — bring on the tissues.

When we reject human injustice, nobody needs to go on a “journey” to get to that point. Where animals are concerned, we’re all too eager to pack the car, don the sunglasses and go for ride before we see the truth of what has been in front of us the entire time.
